Derby vs Burton Odds, Free Betting Tips & Predictions
These are our predictions and tips for this match:
McGoldrick to Score Anytime
Our first Derby vs Burton prediction backs the Rams’ top goalscorer McGoldrick (21 goals) to find the back of the net again. McGoldrick has scored in all of the last 4 rounds (5 goals). Also, he has netted 17 of his 21 league goals at home and clearly, this is where he excels. That’s why we back him to score again on home turf.
Over 0.5 First Half Goals
Our second Derby vs Burton prediction seems the most logical of them all. We think there will be at least 1 goal scored in the first half. Considering that this was the case in all of Derby’s last 12 home games and in all of Burton’s last 4 matches we really can’t argue with these compelling stats.
Derby to Win
Our final Derby vs Burton prediction backs the Rams to record the win they so badly need. Derby sit outside the playoff positions only on goal difference and they need the points. Despite some recent stumbles Derby had been pretty solid at home (W12 D5 L4). At the same time, Burton play for nothing but pride and they tend to struggle on the road in general – 7 of their last 9 league defeats suffered in away matches.
Derby vs Burton Lineups, Analysis, and Latest Team News
Derby
Derby were good value for their 2-1 away win vs Exeter on Tuesday. McGoldrick again led by example and he scored both goals to keep the Rams in touch with the teams above them. After a series of bad displays Derby seem to be finding their feet again and they are now unbeaten in the last 4 rounds (W2 D2).
The squad is practically at full strength with only 2 very rarely-used players nursing injuries right now. Could be tempted to keep the starting lineup unchanged, but the options are plenty to refresh things if this is needed.
Burton
Burton are playing only for pride but they are doing that very well and in 3 of the last 4 rounds they stole points against teams chasing promotion. The Brewers beat both Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday recently, while on Tuesday they held Bolton to a 1-1 home draw. Playing without any pressure helps Maarmaa’s men right now and they are performing well.
Some rotation can be expected. Fit-again Kamwa and the scorer in the last round Walker could be considered for starting roles now. Still, without 5 injured players. Among them, are Terry Taylor and Hamer. Also, Smith was hurt on Tuesday and he might have to sit this one out.
